In the print version of the article listed above, there was an omission of authors and their institutional affiliations. The POUNDS LOST study, on which this project was based, was jointly conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Drs. Steven R. Smith and George A. Bray were inadvertently omitted from this publication. The collection of initial data was done equally by both institutions, but the analyses of computed tomography scans and the analysis of the DEXA scans were done entirely at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. Because these analyses were used in the article, the two individuals listed above should, by usual criteria, have been authors as they were involved in the collection of the data, analysis of the data (original analyses), and funding of the initial project. They did not see the paper before it was submitted and thus could not have contributed to its writing.
